With the bell curve of course my friends would be 1st to 3rd class haha. As for interview, i am certain 2nd upper would almost guarantee an interview all the time. Exxon tends to interview a lot of people. For shell, what i know is that they take in less than 10 grads per year and call them technologists to act different. |

What my friend (ntu chem engine) said must be true then, that O&G looks more favorably upon nus chem engine grads. But outside of O&G, no one cares which school you go to; the honours class is by far more important. Yes, i agree with you on taking other courses. |

NTU chem engine IS easier. I was not from a top JC (bottom few in fact) but still managed to get 2nd upper. That being said, my advice is study biz/acct. Very few of my friends actually got into oil & gas or chemical industries. Even 1st class doesn't mean a guarantee, just a higher chance for interview. |

You will DIE in Chem Engine if you aren't already a good student. I was from Chem Engine and it was really tough. Even 2nd upper is hard to get, remember that all the students there are straight As. Without 2nd upper, you won't get into any good engineering jobs (private or public sector) |

speaking as someone who has a degree in chem engrg, there are simply not enough jobs for chem engrs. Few of my friends join the chemical industry and very very few in oil and gas. Some join pharmaceutical companies. And quite a number are in semiconductors... Let me give you an analogy. If you want to build a condo, how many architects would you need? How many construction workers would you need? For banking and finance, it would be easier for someone with business, accountancy, economics or mathematics to enter. Engineering most probably end up in technology & operations. If you are worried and want to be versatile, electrical or mechanical would be your best bet but dont expect high salary. |

Unregistered | If money and semi-passion is all you want, get into Econs or business and work doubly hard (still easier than engineering in my opinion). You get a better shot at FO this way. And less brain damage. Better looking fellow students too. | |
